So I pulled out the new court ordered placement schedule and the holiday "rotation" that we got this past Friday and BM is already saying she "can't do it". I realized based on this "agreement", BM will be scheduled to have the skids on New Years Eve and New Years Day. Previous to court, BM had stated that she would have the skids on New Years Day (but not New Years Eve). I (being the devious little devil I am) count out the schedule to realize that .....TADA!!!! BM is scheduled to work on New Years Eve (she works 24 hr shifts as an emt.)

I have that angry pit in my stomach and shaky feeling right now and need to vent. Just got off the phone with DH. As we speak, he is with SD9 at a hair salon where she is getting highlights. She's 9. I said "you're kidding?!". He said "no". "She wanted something different".

There is no WAY IN HELL a child of mine would get highlights, lowlights whatever!!!

I totally think this is a bad idea. This kid ALREADY is into her looks, clothes...on and on.

So, I calmly said "I have to go, have a good day today".

Wow...a post that has nothing to do with step-demon (sd14), who has actually been okay this time around. This has to do with her idiot father, my DH (which today stands for DumbsHit). Seriously DH, I want to borrow a basketball players hands to strangle you! The only reason I can't wait for step-demon to leave is because her "father" is making me crazy. Otherwise, I'd be sorry to see her go back to UberSkank in a few days.

After talking to my DH last night, I don't ever think we will have a good relationship with his children. They are such a source of disappointment to him that just when he gives them the benefit of the doubt, once again comes sorrow. YSD constantly wanting to change plans whether holiday plans or not is a real kick in the pants for him. I'm married to a "clam" and he won't open up to me that much on what he's thinking or feeling.

I have him for six whole days!! So excited...

Just wanted to wish all you beautiful ladies...

The warmth of home....
the love of family and friends...
THE BEST HOLIDAYS ever!
And a Happy, Healthy, FUN New Year!

Best wishes and hugs ladies!

Don't know how much I'll be on. I got him for 6 days but NOT a lot of alone time so I'm going to grab what I can!!

The kids are with us for a week of winter break.

SD11 got a sore throat and seemed to be coming down with something, so DH and I have been pumping her with Vit C and hot soup and she's been feeling better. She said it to me and I can see it because she is back to her normal self 100%. Vit C works wonders BTW.

Anyway, apparently she had called her mom and told her about feeling sick. Not a problem at all. So her mom calls everyday to check on her. I'm home with the kids while DH is at work.

Well my selfish 24 y.o. SD continues to take from her father w/carefree abadon and DH continues to give her whatever she wants.

i have a 6 year old with a moron. i have to meet him across town to at the sub station so we exchange our daughter. okay, so i bring her December 18th to meet him, i asked him if he wanted extended holiday visit since he missed thanksgiving weekend. he through an up roar fit, and started to cuss me and my older sister out, while in front of our daughter. we had to get an officer to come out and tell him to leave. well, since he has had her over the weekend, i have not gotten 1 phone call back, and no one has answered my calls.

So, last night...out of the blue, for no apparent reason, DH gets the following 8 (EIGHT) texts in a span of 12 minutes:

You are a pathetic excuse for a parent. I hope your truck falls into the pool again. Where's your conscience? How can you let your own flesh and blood

struggle like this? You are an asshole and I wish nothing but the worst for you and your fucked up nasty bitch wife

You are no better than A*** (*note-her heroin addict baby daddy) you guys would make great friends...Reproduce and let them struggle. Fuck you

I have worked hard in a short time to accept my feelings- my FH and I never had a hard time until we got engaged 4 months ago. We dated, lived apart, I spent time with the SS10 and it was good until we got engaged and I moved into their place.
I have since read a lot and understand many of the patterns, etc. that we are fitting into.
